Consulting: The Cost of Doing It Yourself















   Follow Us On:

        

If you think about it, starting a business and creating a professional presence takes time, money and effort. You know the single most important thing to do is network.. network... network.... You can't be doing both at the same time. But, you still need to show that you are part of something larger. Something that has mass behind it. Something that is high quality. Every book written on successful consulting says image is everything in a competitive market.

You want to have collateral that speaks to your thoughtfulness, creativity and professionalism. You want to be able to demonstrate that everything you do is professional. A professional appearance requires:

  • Well designed business cards
  • Professionally done brochures
  • A high quality web presence
  • Good technique

You've gotten in the door with a potential client because of your communication skills and career credentials.

Group50 lets you get to the market quickly without a lot of expense and time. Think about the time necessary to pick a logo, design a business card, create brochures and letterhead, set-up a company, build a web site, etc. It is tremendous work requiring hundreds of hours. Hours you should be using to get networking done.

Out of Pocket Expenses if you did it yourself:
Logo Design $ 400
500 multi-colored business cards and design $ 200
Brochure design and layout $ 499
Four hours of customized coaching from a world renowned sales and presentation expert $1,000
100  multi-colored brochures $ 125
Professionally designed web presence $ 2,500
Silver Membership to The Global Leaders $300
22 hour online training course for successful consulting practices $1,000
500 Printed letter head and envelopes $ 350
Newsletters and reports on networking, etc. $ 300
160 hours of your time at consulting rates $24,000

So, if you're doing this on your own, you can expect to have out of pocket expenses of around $6,000 and it could cost you over $24,000 of billable time.
